Dear Canada:
Issue a warrant for Miller and his fascist wife and abduct them in the middle of the night.
Apparently we will just go with it now.
The tiny news item a few months ago about Miller and family moving out of his suburban house and onto a military base with the flimsy excuse about feeling threatened by sidewalk chalk doesn't seem so amusing now.
Americans know. They just don’t have any idea what to do, and no single person can solve the problem.
It might take the world.... Going to war.
The world doesn't need to go to war, it needs to stop being afraid of a major economic downturn.
Stop everything with the US: trade, travel, everything. Deport all Americans back to their native soil. Isolate them, and see how quickly things change.
While we're at it, do the same with Russia and Israel. And maybe China?
Would it cause a global economic crisis? Probably. But people are already dying—it's worth it if we can actually end a genocide and a couple wars.
So much this. Just 100% stop all trade with the United States. All of it. And zero travel. Then ban US travel to your country. Give them the isolation they crave.
No, definitely impose sanctions and stop trade, but don't ban travel. Let the brain drain do its thing.
Some of us do not consent to the actions of this rogue administration, and we don't crave isolation. Some of us desperately want a way out of this country.
Nah. Just start selling the US bonds that backs the US currency. The USD with crash in value.
But when you suggest things they can do (it starts with s and rhymes with trike) all you get are excuses. I'm personally done letting Americans off the hook.
Venezuela should have been the line. Want to make it Greenland? So, they can take mexico, Cuba?
Each inch they take is too much. They have proven that they are following the Fascist guidebook.
Venezuela is the first step. Same as Hitler with Poland.
Poland was the last step, which is what started WWII. I think you mean Czechoslovakia (or maybe the Rhineland) was the first step.
This is done because there are no consequences, no repercussions. A convicted felon and rapist is in charge instead of in jail. The checks and balances of their system have long since failed.
I'd like to cite the last two definitions given by Shoshanna Zuboff for surveillance capitalism:
7. A movement that aims to impose a new collective order based on total certainty;
8. An expropriation of critical human rights that is best understood as a coup from above: an overthrow of the people’s sovereignty.
Too much was based on good will, public outcry and political capital. When MAGA proved they will excuse anything, they doomed the system.
If the system is ever recaptured, we must put stronger checks in. Or suffer the same fate.
American propaganda agents should be hunted down and butchered.
Bannon saying he's gonna give Ireland a trump should get his ass in the space station with Mountbatten.
You don't get it.
The people posting shit like that WANT TO KILL.
They are bloodthirsty. They are warmongers. They want a bodycount.
There's nothing more to realize about the joke because it's not a joke.
America is ruled by murderers.
The only way it's stops is when the blood lust they seek comes home to roost.
We know it's not a joke. The three most populated cities in the US are in deep blue states and full of people who don't want this. For everyone in those cities, it would take days and hundreds, if not thousands of dollars, to travel to the White House. Most of us are behind on rent, have had our cars repossessed, don't make a living wage, don't have healthcare, and have unsustainable credit card debt.
Outside of a very vocal minority, the American people are overwhelmingly united around the fact that we don't want this to happen.
However, the American people aren't in control of the American government, and the American government are overwhelmingly united around corporate interests.
There are many who actually believe the midterms will solve this.
I don't, but also I'm fucking doing it. It takes all of five minutes. You've got the time to do it. You might as well. It can only help. It won't solve the problem, but it will make it harder for them.
I think Canada should be on notice right now. I can’t believe I would ever say such a thing, but as a US citizen it just seems to me like these people have no line they won’t cross.
Anyone who thinks warmongering, fascism, and terrorism are unAmerican has not read much American history. The U.S.A was founded on genocide, grown on slavery, and has oligarchy baked in to their constitution. Hitler studied the way the U.S. treated indigenous and black people to form his genocide plans, and Israel has built on both the U.S. and Nazi examples for their treatment of Palestine.
The beat goes on.
Miller is the ghoul behind a lot of the worst of what the government is doing. Trump is bad, but he’s an idiot. Miller knows what he’s doing and has a plan.
Will nobody rid this poor planet of Stephen Miller?
Fantasy: The People will revolt due to the already terrible conditions worsening before that
More realistic hopium: We'll remove Republican control from the house before then
Reality:
When will the rest of the world ? Not a peep from my shitty governemt here in Australia, we just keep doubling down and buying weapons from the US, nuclear submarines of all the stupid things.
Hey cousin!
We just bought some over the horizon radar from you guys!
Unfortunately we're also contemplating buying some locked down F35s that are sure to be kill switched by the US when they decide that they want our resources. I think we need to accept that the F35s are not going to happen, and instead get the Gripens. At this point it's seems like the height of stupidity to trust them, especially with our military hardware.
Locked down planes? Install Arch Linux on them
I fly arch btw
There’s way too many, like myself, who can’t even afford to take a week off of work much less however long it would take to revolt.
And we’d be going up against a military that just waltzed into another country which has a functional and organized military and expect to succeed against them grassroots?
I don’t think anything will happen before a state or group of states splinters off with their national guard as support.
We’re definitely not laughing. Well, not the ones against him - which does seem to be the majority, at least when you’re here.
This is really it in a nutshell.
I'm honestly not sure what to say to the Europeans and other non-Americans posting a lot on Lemmy lately, who seem to think all Americans - even those who have opposed every Trump action and have despised Trump since the 90s - are individually to blame for Donald Trump.
I'm like: Imagine everyone around you decided you were going to be married to an abusive spouse. You never agreed, yet sure enough, one day you woke up legally married to, and having to live in the same house with, a delusional, malignant narcissist abuser. No divorce possible, consent was never required after all. And if you tried to ask for help, your neighbors - who want you to know they absolutely hate abusers! - would spit at you and say, "Take care of your own problem!"
Ok, thanks, appreciate it.
You know its even worse than that - fascist or fascist adjacent parties are leading in polls in the UK, France, and Germany simultaneously. Canada and Australia only avoided electing mini trumps as a response to trump. And that's only speaking of the larger countries. When I hear someone on here go off about how the "world" has always known the US is just bad I'm amazed. Can you not see what is happening in your own countries? International capital is making its move, and something is happening across the democratic world.
Cribbing this from some tumblr i saw: "My wish for 2026 is that Europeans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in their own country as they are about them in the U.S. and that Americans will be as critical and vigilant about authoritarianism and racism in the U.S. as Europeans are."
Germans had a prideful couple of years when France fell but then it got ugly. So average mercan will no doubt celebrate on the short term about how great frump and merca are. Reality for them is a few years away. Think of this as 1938. Merca didnt join the war against nazis in 1942 ‘til Europe was defeated and england was on its knees.
Republicans want to add new states and are looking for conservative ones so they can keep control.
Yep. Expect any invasion to be in Alberta. I honestly believe this Canada shit is just ePiC TrOLLiNg by the adolescents in charge of the US government to piss off Canadians and American progressives. I hope I’m not wrong, but I do find comfort in the fact that Canada isn’t a brown/poor people country. We seem to prefer attacking those instead. I don’t know about Greenland, though. I don't think any of us understand that shit.
When trump dies all of these people will end up killing each other for the throne.
One can hope. It will be delicious watching the GOP self immolate in the ensuing squabbles.
